Mathayo 20
1 Kulwokubha obhukama bhwa mulwire obhususana na unu ali na lisambu, unu emukile mulugulu koleleki atulemo abhakosi bhemilimu mwisambu lyaye elye mijabhibhu.
"For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out at dawn to hire workmen for his vineyard.
2 Ejile ekilishanya nabho omuyelo gwa idinari imwi kulunaku, nabhatuma okugenda mwisambu lyaye elye mijabhibhu.
"And when he had agreed with the workmen for two shillings a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Gejile gatulao kuti masaa gasatu nasubhayo nalola abhakosi bhandi bhemeleguyu bhatamilimu mwiyeneo lya lisoko.
"About nine o’clock he went out and noticed some other workmen standing idle in the market-place;
4 Nabhabhwila ati, 'Emwe ona, mugende mwisambu elye mijabhibhu, chona chona chinu chili mugabho gweme enibhayana.' Kulwejo nibhagenda okukola emilimu.
"and he said to them, "‘Do you also go into the vineyard, and whatever is just I will pay you.’
5 Gejile gatulao masaa mukaga nagenda lindi, musaa ya mwenda ona nakola kutyo.
"So they went. Again at noon, and about three o’clock, he went out and did the same thing.
6 Akatungu akandi nagenda musaa ekumi na imwi, nasanga abhanu bhandi bhemeleguyu bhatali na mulimu. Kubhaki mwimeleguyu anu lunaku lwona mutali na mulimu gwona gwona?
"When he went out about five o’clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, "‘Why have you been standing here idle, all the day long?’
7 Nibhamusubhya ati, Kulwokubha atalio munu unu achianile emilimu. Nabhabhwila ati, 'Emwe ona mugende mwisambu lye mijabhibhu.'
"‘Because no one has hired us,’ they replied. "He said to them, ‘Do you also go into the vineyard.’
8 Kegolo yejile yakinga, Kanye sambu lye mijabhibhu abhwiliye omunyampala waye, 'Bhabhilikile ubhayane omuyelo gwebhe, wambe nabhanu bhasingiliye umalishe na bhanu bhelabhile.'
"And when evening came, the Lord of the vineyard said to his steward, "‘Call the workmen and pay them their wages, beginning with the last hired and ending with the first.’
9 Bhejile bhaja bhanu bhayabhilwe emilimu saa ekumi na imwi, bhuli munu alamiye idinari.
"When those came who had begun at five o’clock, they received two shillings apiece;
10 Bhejile bhaja abhakosi abhokwamba, nibhetogela ati abhalamila okukila abhandi, nawe ona bhalamiye dinari imwi imwii kubhuli munu.
"and when the first came they supposed that they would get more, but they also received each two shillings.
11 Bhejile bhalamila emiyelo jebhwe, nibhalundumila kanya esambu.
"And as they took it they began to grumble against the master of the house.
12 Nibhaika ati, 'Abhakosi abhakegolo bhanu bhagega lisaa limwi lyenyele kumilimu, nawe wabhenganya neswe, eswe chetwika omujigo lunaku lwona no kwochibhwa na lisana.'
"‘Those last men,’ they said, ‘have toiled only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the burning heat of the day.’
13 Nawe kanya esambu asubhishe nabhwila umwi umwi ati, 'Musani wani, nitakola musango mubhibhi. Chitekilishanya kwa idinari imwi?
"In reply he said to one of them. ‘My friend, I am doing no wrong. Did you not agree with me for two shillings?
14 Nulamile omuyelo gwao gunu gukwingene ugende jao. Ni bhukondelwa bhwani okuliya abhakosi bhanu bhasingilila bhenganiliye nawe.
"Take your wage and begone! I chose to give to this last man the same as to you.
15 Enibhusha! Nitali na bhulamusi okukola kutyo enenda kumali jani? Amo eliso lyao lino lwango kulwokubha anye ndi wekisi?
"Have I not the right to do what I choose with my own property? Or is your eye evil because I am generous?’
16 Kulwejo oyo kasingilila alibha wokwamba no wo kwamba alibha wo kusingilila.”
"So the last shall be first, and the first, last."
17 Mbe Yesu aliga nalinya okuja Yeruslemu. Achali munjila, nagega abheigisibhwa bhaye ekumi na bhabhili nabhasubhya kumbali nabhabhwila ati,
When Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem, he took the Twelve aside by themselves, and as they went he said to them.
18 “Mbe mulole echigenda Yerusalemu, no Omwana wa Adamu kagwatibhwa na bhakulu bha bhagabisi na abhandiki. Abhamulamula okufwa
"Look! We are on the way up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death,
19 na abhamuta mubhanyamaanga koleleki bhamusegule, bhamuchape no kumubhamba. Nawe kulunaku olwakasatu kasuluka.”
"and hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified; and on the third day he will rise from the grave."
20 Okumala nyilamwene abhana bha Zebhedayo ejile ku Yesu ali na bhana bhaye. Abhumile ebhiju imbele yaye no kumusabha echinu okusoka kumwene.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, kneeling down and begging a favor of him.
21 Yesu namubhwila ati, “Owenda chinuki?” Namubhwila ati, “Nulagilile kutya, abhana bhani bhanu kubhubhili bhwebhwe oumwi eyanje mukubhoko kwao okwobhulyo oundi mukubhoko kwao okwobhumosi mu bhukama bhwa.”
"What is it you wish?" he said. She answered, "Command that these my two sons may sit upon your right hand and your left in your kingdom."
22 Nawe Yesu namusubhya naika ati, “Utakumenya chinu ousabhwa. Enikubhusha! Outula okunywela echikombe echo ndinywela?” Nibhamubhwila ati, “Echitula.”
23 Nabhabhwila ati, “Echikombe chani chimali omuchinywela, nawe okwiyanja mukubhoko kwani okwobhulwo na mukubhoko kwani okwo bhumosi gutali mulimo gwani okubhayana, nawe nikwabho bhanu bhamalile okwilabhilwa na Lata wani.”
"None of you indeed shall drink," he answered, "but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
24 Abheigisibhwa abhandi ekumi bhejile bhongwa kutyo, nibhasulumbasibhwa muno na bhejabho bhaliya abhabhili.
When the ten heard of this, they were indignant at the two brothers;
25 Nawe Yesu nabhabhilikila omwenikili nabhabhwila ati, “Mumenyele ati abhakama bha bhanya maanga abhabhobhaisha, na abhakulu bhebhwe abhakola amanaga ingulu yebhwe.
but Jesus called them to him and said. "You know how the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
26 Nawe emwe mwasiga okukola kutyo.
"Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you wishes to become great, shall be your minister,
27 Nawe, wona wona unu alyenda obhukulu agati yemwe ni bhusi bhusi bhe mugaya wemwe.
"and whoever wishes to be first among you, shall be your slave;
28 Lwakutyo Omwana wa Adamu atejile okukolelwa, tali okufulubhenda, nokusosha obhulame bhwaye abhe mwelusi wa bhafu.”
"just as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
29 Bhejile bhasoka Yeriko, abhanu bhafu nibhamulubha.
Now as they were leaving Jericho a great crowd followed him.
30 Na nibhalola abhaume bhabhili bheyanjile kungego ya injila. Bhejile bhongwa ati Yesu katulao, Ni bhasosha obhulaka bhulela nibhaika ati, “Lata Bugenyi, Omwana wa Daudi, nuchifwile chigongo.”
And two blind men, sitting by the side of the road, heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried out, "Have pity on us, Master, Son of David!"
31 Nawe liijo lya bhanu nilibhagonya, nilibhabhwila bhajibhile, Nawe ona, abhenene nibhasubha lindi okuyogana nibhaika ati, “Lata Bugenyi, Omwana wa Daudi, nuchifwile chigongo.”
But the crowd checked them, to make them keep still. They cried out all the louder, saying, "Master, have pity on us, Son of David!"
32 Nio Yesu nemelegulu nabhabhilikila nokubhabhusha ati, “Omwenda nibhakoleleki?”
Then Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?"
33 Nibhamubhwila ati, “Lata Bugenyi, ameso geswe gegulwe.”
"Master," they answered, "let our eyes be opened."
34 Mbe Yesu nabha agegelwe nechigongo nakushako ameso gebhwe, akachwina ako, nibhalamila obhutulo bhwokulola nanibhamulubha.
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and they saw at once, and followed him.
